Can caffeine -coffee cause a headache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Caffeine does not directly cause headache, too much of the substance can trigger “caffeine rebound.” A caffeine rebound headache occurs from withdrawal of caffeine after a sufferer continually consumes too much of the substance.
